I got a Pee Wee Herman like house. Although once a malfunction caused the eggs to get dropped into the toaster and getting into the kitchen was like storming a beachhead with howitzers firing shells of red hot liquid death.

I'm not sure I wake up grumpy so much as dazed, confused and wishing I could just go back to sleep instead of having to get up. Although some mornings I do end up yelling "Where the HOLY FRAK ARE MY SHOES" at nobody in particular.

I used to think it was all the weed I smoked but I stopped that years ago now. I am not, never have been and probably never will be a morning person. The last time I tried to turn over a new leaf and get up early so I could have a relaxing breakfast and cycle to work, well it lasted a week. It was quite a good week, I slept the right amount, I got to work early and got to leave early as a result, didn't have to hurry anywhere... it was easy to see why a lifestyle in which these things are possible would be quite a good lifestyle.

These things are not possible for me, not for more than a few days. I'm a natural night-owl, I'm pretty sure I have severe DOSD, and the rest of y'all are just weird as far as I can tell.

Ivo Shandor:I've had a few of those mornings when you wake up feeling that all is right with the world and then...

Oh. Right. :(

Exactly.

Farker Porous Horace once wrote in a thread something like "It's nice to have that 1/4 - 1/2 second between when you wake up and you realize who you are." (I just had to mark him as a favourite for that comment alone.) The bit before reality hits is really nice.

/farking insomnia//always forget why I am such a heavy drinker///NOW I remember...

Ever tried anti-hystamines to make you sleepy? I have to avoid them like crazy since those little tablets can put me to sleep for days. I have them bookmarked in my head as the go to pill if I ever get insomnia.

When I quit smoking I became a morning person -- waking up early, getting out of bed immediately, and not foggy. I have no proof that it is the secession of smoking that made me bright eyed an bushy tailed; but it certainly seems like it.

/used e-cigs

I tried those, should have bought extra batteries. Bought two off the get go and one failed after a week. They did help a bit but once I had to order more batteries, I just got lazy.

I bought Smoke Tip and it was still working after about 4 months. I still puff on it sometimes, but with the lowest level of nicotine I can find. Smoke Tips was about $50 for a starter kit with 2 batteries.The local smoke shop sells one battery and a usb charger for $12.

It also saves money to refill the cartridges. I would inject .5-1 ML with a hypodermic. That way I can refill 30-60 cartridges for $25.

/was a 1+ pack a day smoker for ~15 years//nicotine gum works good, too. Walmart generic is pretty inexpensive.

I was thinking about trying the gum but I hate chewing for hours on end. Heh, a buddy of mine said he used it like a wad of dip and would just let it sit in his bottom lip. Said it worked pretty well actually.

You could also try nasal snuff -- probably the safest way to dose yourself with nicotine.
